Women Fitness President Ms. Namita Nayyar catches up Leo Rodriguez an exceptionally talented Spanish Olympic Silver Medalist Basketball Player Skier here she talks about her fitness routine, her diet, skin care, hair care and her success story.

Namita Nayyar:

You were born in Las Palmas, Spain. You started playing basketball as a junior in CB Islas Canarias in your native Canary Islands and playing in the Spanish top tier league in the 2007-08 and 2008-09 seasons. At seventeen years of age, you moved abroad to play in the NCAA for the Florida State Seminoles, averaging 14.9 PPG in that year. Back in Europe, you signed for one of the Spanish top teams, Perfumerías Avenida. Later this propelled your career to the height where you have been at the top of the world as a leading women basketball player. Tell us more about this journey of hard work, tenacity, and endurance?

Leo Rodriguez:

I feel very lucky to have been able to play this sport for so many years. Because of it I’ve been able to advance my education, learn new languages, travel the world, meet new wonderful people, live in other countries, and surround myself with different cultures.

Obviously there have been times with ups and downs. I’ve felt homesick and misunderstood. However, I am the woman I am today because of the lessons I’ve learned through those times. In challenging moments, I always rely on my family. I have two amazing role models as parents, two older sisters, and a twin brother. Their support and love have always been unconditional. I’ve won the lottery in that sense. Thanks to basketball I’ve grown a lot not only as player, but most importantly, as a person.
